Two away teams were sent out to meet with the two governments in order to determine if they are fit for first contact. The two governments are currently collaborating on creating warp drive. A slight snag was created by the fact that their warp drive may have been developed through reverse-engineering 100 year old Starfleet technology as it was revealed that a 23rd century shuttlecraft from the USS Constellation crash landed there. The shuttlecraft was found intact by the Valorians and is currently held in an Area 51 type facility. | |||
The undercover away teams on the surface have determined that the impact of a Starfleet shuttle crash over 100 years ago has lead to artificially hastened warp development and the creation of a xenophobic culture. At present, the Valorians have rigged their first warp ship with a nuclear device with the intention of destroying the Columbia. A nuclear explosion would do negligible damage to a shielded ship, but the premature launch of the warp ship will cause the test ship's warp core to breach. The combination of warp core breach and a nuclear explosion could not only destroy the Columbia but eliminate all life on the surface of the planet. | |||
The Columbia away teams lead by Commanders Hapgood and Harvey with the aid of a pair of forward thinking scientists have broken into the base to diffuse the bomb. Meanwhile Captain Avatar has taken a shuttlecraft into orbit to send out an inverse warp field to prevent the test ship from engaging her engines and suffering a catastrophic breach. It will be up to Captain Avatar and his away team to explain the peaceful intentions of the Federation while carefully upholding the values of the Prime Directive. | |||
